Democrats have harshly criticized the Benghazi select committee, calling it a political sideshow and questioning Republican motives behind the effort. But what some key Democrats aren’t questioning is the man who will lead the committee, Rep. Trey Gowdy. While Gowdy is decidedly partisan and one of the most vocal critics of the Obama administration regarding its response to Benghazi, he has built up an enormous amount of goodwill among some of his Democratic colleagues, particularly those he’s worked with on the Judiciary and Oversight committees. On the record and in private, Democrats praise Gowdy as fair and forthright. “I would look at Mr. Gowdy as the one honest broker in this whole circus,” said Rep. Lacy Clay, a Democrat who serves with Gowdy on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. “That’s probably why, with Gowdy at the helm, we would need full participation — because we would be heard and we would be able to defend some of the allegations that would arise.” “Every indication I have had in working with him on the Judiciary Committee is that he’s thoughtful, careful, and trying to reach the truth,” Rep. Luis Gutiérrez said. “That’s been my experience.
(SNIP) “I try not to get my Republican friends in trouble because I speak highly of them,” said Gutierrez, an Illinois Democrat who counts Gowdy as a friend. “Look, I don’t see him that way. Maybe I just cloud it out.”

Gowdy must really have the goods on the Democrats.
“Yeah, Trey and I are good buds. We named our first child after him. Uh, what exactly does he have on me? Maybe we can name another kid after him.”
GROWING IN OFFICE PANIC LEVEL — 10.5...!!!!
very scared....
Yeah that’s my take as well.
They’re screeching for him to end the investigation one minute and kissing his ass the next.
Exactly. Raises my suspicions about his failure to make some votes due to “missing his flight” to DC.

This is discouraging. No wonder no one challenged Boehner for speaker. They must not see a problem.
There is no one that asks the tough questions like he does. But I’m afraid that might be all he is, someone that just does a lot of talking to appease the conservatives.
